This is the French edition catalogue relating about the exhibition Trésors de la Peste noire -Erfurt et Colmar presented at the Middle Ages museum in Cluny in 2007.

At the beginning of the 14th century, Europe was ravaged by a very bad epidemic that killed a third of its population: "Black Death". Accused of having spread the plague, members of the Jewish community went suffered persecutions that lead them to bury their belongings. Two of these "treasures", respectively found in Colmar in 1863 and in Erfurt in 1998 are, for the first time, set in perspective. They reveal themselves as precious testimonies of the economical activities and the prosperity of the medieval Jewish communities, but also they precariousness and growing insecurity within Christendom.
Constituted of jewels, goldsmith's and silversmith's pieces, and coins, these sets constitute furthermore an extraordinary source of information about profane goldsmith's art of the 13th and 14th century. This represented indeed a major part of the period production, but only few items have lasted until today.
